AES opens Kansas office, designs innovative park

Joshua Lippold manages AES’ new Kansas City regional consulting office in Eudora, KS, and also serves as a staff designer. He’s put his thumbprint on projects as relatively small as Manchester Park in Lenexa, KS, and as large as the Kansas City Natural Resource Inventory – a 3,000 square-mile mammoth initiative intended to record and map nearly every usable piece of environmental information in the eight-county Kansas City metro area.

In Lenexa, the challenge was to turn a run-of-the-mill runoff field into an innovative pocket park incorporating a series of demonstration gardens, sitting areas and walking trails for the residents of two adjoining neighborhoods. By nature a stormwater project, the most gratifying part of the job for Lippold so far has been the stout show of support from area residents, evinced by a standing ovation that he, City Watershed Planner Laura Turnbull, and Conservation Ecologist Laurie Brown of Patti Banks Associates received after a public hearing April 14.

Much of that support no doubt comes from the careful planning put into the park project. Currently, runoff drains from the neighborhood west of the park through a four-foot-high culvert and into an ephemeral stream at an angle that promotes erosion from fast-moving water. The plan incorporates a plunge pool to slow down the water and a designed series of pools and riffles, just like a stream should have.
